"unnatural" foods........
let me say first that today, about an hour after i got off the phone with the good rev aynne, a migraine to end all migraines hit. like, a BAD one, knees shaking, being bothered by smells (dog), lights (any), sounds (any)....nausea, diahreahhea (sp) etc..i laid down for a couple of hours (couldn't sleep, which is what it takes to make these things go away), but it helped. knees still shaking, which brings me to the 'unnatural food'.
k, i like to make EVERYTHING, almost obsessively (even laundry detergent, sigh). I do keep a certain amount of potpies, pre-cooked pancakes (dirt cheap at wallyworld), etc for the kiddo's 3 am hunger attacks (MUCH quicker than cooking). so tonite,with knees still shaking but both of us needing to eat (and me not being able to gag down potpies), i did into the freezer. Thereinresides what I now know to be a supremely unnatural food.
Two weeks ago, at walmart, I spot a 20 pack of frozen scrambled eggs and a 20 pack of frozen (cooked) sausage patties and since we love breakfast sandwhiches, this seemed ideal for those 'mornings on the go'. You know the ones: she won't get up and go but by the time i pry her out of the house she is starved 1/2 mile down the road and I am shelling out $$$ for a mickey d's. So, instead, i by a bag of eggs, bag of sausage, and english muffins, and put them aside for emergencies (which tonite clearly is).
I open them up. open muffins on microwave suitable plate.....put a sausage on 1/2 of each sandwich...open the eggs.....oh MY. This is not the quality 'square, real scrambled and folded back' imitation eggs we get at mickey d's or burger king, no sirree. These are perfectly ROUND scrabmled egg patties with fake grill marks.
ew.
so, the taste is passable, a tiny bit sweet....hidden between the sausage and cheese i can live with it, IN AN EMERGENCY.
but overall, this "unnatural food" gets a two thumbs down........the sausage was spectacular.
